Head of the team office...
"Captain, I heard that our regiment will send a team to Yangcheng to participate in the exercise training in two days. I would like to apply to participate!"
The regiment commander, Gu Chengqi, looked at Zhao Yilu sharply for a moment and asked, "What's your name? Which battalion are you from?"
Zhao Yilu replied loudly and straightforwardly: "Report to the commander, I am Zhao Yilu from the fifth squad of the recruit camp."
"Zhao Yilu..." Captain Gu muttered the name silently, seeming to be thinking about something.
Suddenly he remembered that Captain Zhang of the recruit camp had talked to him a few days ago. There was a very good recruit in the recruit camp who performed very well in all aspects. The recruit was called Zhao Yilu!
But Captain Gu still asked calmly: "You have only been in the army for a month, how dare you say you want to go to Yangcheng to participate in the exercise training?! Do you know who can go?"
"I know. Those who can go are the elite among the elite!" Zhao Yilu answered in the same loud and straightforward manner.
"So you are?"
"I am!" Zhao Yilu said with a firm and confident tone.
"Young man, self-confidence is an advantage, but being too arrogant can become a disadvantage!" Captain Gu said with some sarcasm in his tone.
"Please give me a chance to prove myself!" Zhao Yilu said calmly.
"Okay, I'll give you a chance!"
Captain Gu stood up and walked in front of Zhao Yilu, "Do you see the training ground outside?"
Zhao Yilu turned his head and looked out the window. "I see it."
"I will see you there in ten minutes. If you can complete the training targets I give you, I will agree to let you go to Yangcheng." Captain Gu said seriously.
Zhao Yilu's eyes lit up...
"Yes, Captain!" After saying that, he turned and ran out of the office.
Ten minutes later, Zhao Yilu appeared on the training ground on time.
Captain Gu looked at the energetic young man in front of him and couldn't help feeling a surge of anticipation in his heart.
"Zhao Yilu, I hope you can remember what you said to me today. The elite among the elites is not something that can be achieved by words, but by strength!" Captain Gu said loudly.
"Yes, Captain! Please give us the instructions!" Zhao Yilu responded loudly.
Captain Gu picked up the whistle and blew it hard.
"Today's training subject is a 10-kilometer cross-country run with weights. You need to complete it within 40 minutes. If you can't complete it, you will have to go back to the recruit camp and continue training."
Without saying a word, Zhao Yilu picked up his backpack and rushed forward.
As time passed, Zhao Yilu's clothes were soaked with sweat, but his pace became faster and faster.
He had only one thought in his mind, to complete the mission, to prove his strength, and to get a spot to go to Yangcheng to participate in the exercise. Only by going to Yangcheng would he have the opportunity to take some time out to visit Fan Hua and find out how badly she was injured.
Finally, Zhao made it all the way across the finish line, where he collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
Captain Gu walked up to him and handed him a bottle of water. "Zhao Yilu, good boy, you did it. But if you want to participate in the competition, physical strength alone is not enough, you also need skills!"
After that, Captain Gu handed Zhao Yilu a gun and said, "Look at the target in front of you? Shoot ten times at the target. If you can hit nine of them, I will allow you to go to Yangcheng to participate in the exercise!"
Zhao Yilu took the gun from the regiment commander and took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
Sweat dripped down his cheeks to his shoulders. He stared at the target in front of him, stood still and took aim... The bullet flew out with the sound of the wind...
The first shot—hit the bull’s eye!
He continued firing one shot after another, and unexpectedly hit the bull's eye with ten shots in a row! Even Captain Gu was extremely shocked by his accuracy. He was indeed a rare talent!
"Did you practice your shooting skills before joining the army?" Captain Gu asked curiously.
